Title: System and method for applying accurate three-dimensional volume textures to arbitrary triangulated surfaces
Inventor: SPICER SEAN A
IPC: G09G5/00
Filed: 2004-08-05
Abstract: Systems and methods for displaying volume data on an arbitrary three-dimensional polygonal surface are disclosed. For each polygon in the polygonal surface, a two-dimensional texture tile is created and these texture tiles are combined to form texture atlases. Each texture atlas is allocated a specific amount of memory in a texture cache.

Title: Development of thermoplastic composites using wet use chopped strand (wucs)
Inventor: HAQUE ENAMUL
IPC: C08J5/08
Filed: 2004-10-14
Abstract: A process for forming thermoplastic composites (295) that uses wet use chopped strand glass is provided. Wet reinforcement fibers such as wet chopped strand glass fibers are opened by passing the fibers consecutively through a first opener (210), a condenser (220), and, optionally, a second opener (230). The opened reinforcement fibers are mixed with a resin (240) and transferred to a first sheet former (270). The resin is preferably polypropylene fibers. An optional second sheet former may be used to form a final composite having high structural integrity. The resulting sheet may be optionally passed through a needle felting machine (280) for mechanical strengthening. The sheet is then passed through a thermal bonder (290) to thermally bond the reinforcement glass fibers and resin. The composite product that exits the thermal bonder can be subsequently used as a reinforcement in a molding process to produce composite articles.

Title: On-line, real-time game playing with serving of pages of information to a multitude of players
Inventor: MOSHAL MARTIN PAUL
IPC: A63F13/12
Filed: 2006-05-31
Abstract: A central gaming server transmits game lobby pages to a multitude of distributed computing devices accessing a gaming website or websites over a network such as the Internet. To overcome scalability problems in keeping the lobby displays up-to-date and accurate in all the participating distributed workstations, particularly in a dynamic gaming environment where hundreds or thousands of games may be going on simultaneously, game or player data in the lobby displays is transmitted as individual pages along with icons by which the users of the computing devices can request additional pages. Updates are performed for only the displayed pages. This approach provides a significant improvement in server and network performance over prior techniques in which all game statistics for a particular selected type of game (or statistics on all the current players) was sent to each workstation and the workstation would scroll through the entire data set as necessary to view all the game or player data.

Title: Thermally-reversible crosslinking of polymers
Inventor: CHAUDHARY BHARAT I
IPC: C08F8/00
Filed: 2004-12-24
Abstract: The present invention is a rheology-modifiable polymeric composition or a free-radical crosslinkable polymeric composition, wherein the resulting rheology~modifying bond or crosslinking bond is a thermally-reversible bond.  The resulting polymer is prepared from at least one polymer which upon forming free radicals preferentially degrades or carbon-carbon crosslinks. The present invention permits suppression of the preferential reaction while permitting the polymer to be coupled or crosslinked through a thermally-reversible bond.  Suppressing the undesirable degradation or carbon-carbon crosslinking reaction and permitting the desirable reaction yield a rheology-modified polymer or a free-radical thermally-reversibly crosslinked polymer.
